Lets say you shoot 720P60 onto a fire store
Mix of interviews and b roll- corporate or documentary situation
2.5 hours total
110 G material
Max firestore capacity 80G

You want to transfer this data to a firewire drive and hand it off to the client at the end of the day.

Any suggestions on how to make this happen?
Dedicated drive wrangler would be too expensive. Two man crew, camera and sound with a producer.

How long would it take to transfer 110G of material onto a firewire drive?

With the new news about being able to transfer footage directly from the cam to a stand alone firewire drive one could shoot on a P2 card and transfer as you go, kinda like changing tapes. This way at the end of the day your not standing around for half an hour waiting to dump footage from one drive to another.
